“M
and fuck everyone discretion. Kill them all, Iguala is mine”, José Luis Abarca Velázquez would have ordered, The A1, former mayor of that city. According to the Undersecretary of the Interior, Alejandro Encinas, it was The Guarachero –as the former mayor was nicknamed, when he was a humble merchant– who ordered the 43 rural normalistas of Ayotzinapa to disappear.
The reason for getting rid of the young people would have been that politicians, soldiers, police and criminals did not know who is who
and they would be heating up the square too much. The former mayor coordinated with the second captain of the 27th Infantry Battalion, José Martínez Crespo.
José Luis Abarca was elected mayor of Iguala, as an external candidate of the PRD for the 2012-15 triennium. In 2010, he confessed to his friend, the doctor Lázaro Mazón, twice mayor of the municipality and later Secretary of Health in the government of Ángel Aguirre Rivero, until his resignation in August 2018, that he wanted to be nominated. .
According to the doctor, he replied that this was impossible, because there was already a candidate in the municipality (Óscar Díaz Bello) and he was not a member of the party. Abarca then sought out the New Left, and met with its leader in the entity, Sebastián de la Rosa Peláez. Incidentally, in 2011, he generously financed the gubernatorial campaign of Aguirre Rivero (https://bit.ly/3cpUsOy). They met in person in January 2011, when they had breakfast together at the Jewelry Center in Iguala, with several oreros, in an event orchestrated by Abarca.
Finally, the size of his checkbook allowed him to overcome the obstacles that came his way on the way to his nomination without major setbacks. The electoral operation of him with the initials of the yellow sun and allies of the MC and the PT, was oiled with the delivery of sheets and pantries. He won with 21,546 votes, against the 14,600 obtained by the PRI candidate, Erick Catalán Rendón. In those years, Jesús Zambrano directed the national PRD. He was replaced, a few days after the night of Iguala, by Carlos Navarrete, who held his first meeting at the head of the CEN del Sol Azteca in Iguala. They are both from the New Left.
Born in Arcelia, Abarca is a man infatuated with his image, who liked to flaunt his biceps, who lived surrounded by mirrors. Not very tall, shrewd and ambitious, boastful and braggart, he wasn’t much for making friends, but he was adept at getting a ticket. A modest merchant of huaraches and palm hats, he first ventured into the buying and selling of gold and then into the more lucrative business of heroin transfer. He had, for many years before, close relations with the commanders in charge of the 27th Infantry Battalion.
His wife, María de los Ángeles Pineda, a dyed blonde, first known as Seamstress and then how Lady Iguala , He also had a humble origin, which he traced from the hand of his family’s incursion into drug trafficking. He sold clothes that his mother made. The couple met at the wedding dress store owned by Abarca’s father. The marriage forged a flourishing economic and political alliance, which had its main source of accumulation in the traffic of poppy gum.
The parents of Seamstress, Leonor Villa Ortuño and Salomón Pineda Bermúdez, originally from Zirándaro, Guerrero, started a prosperous business in Iguala dedicated to the retail sale of drugs. His sons Guadalupe, José Alberto, Marco Antonio and Salomón followed the same route. Guadeloupe was executed by The Michoacan Family . Two of them, the MP Y The Erasurewho worked for Arturo Beltrán Leyva, were killed by him in September 2009 to avenge his betrayal.
When in May 2009, the then Secretary of Public Security announced the arrest of 14 alleged members of the Beltrán Leyva group, it disclosed that the Pineda Villa family had a network of corruption and institutional protection in the states of Morelos and Guerrero, who In addition to providing security, they informed him of the actions undertaken by the authority. Among those detained were the parents of María de los Ángeles.
In the Abarca Pineda marriage company, she was the one who had the singing voice. She closed deals and deals. She was visiting the state governor. Witnesses assure that she, without any prudence, she yelled at her husband: Shut up stupid!
On September 26, 2014, learning of the arrival of the Ayotzis to his city, he would have roared: Get those kids out of the shit!
Mayor Abarca was lavish in incorporating his relatives and his wife’s relatives into the municipal payroll. He was ruthless in crushing the political enemies of him. On May 31, 2013, he savagely murdered social activist Arturo Hernández Cardona and other activists (https://bit.ly/3TgFP0y). As a protest against the murder of the leader of the Popular Union, the youth of Ayotzinapa took to the streets of Iguala.
The attack on rural normalistas involved a large-scale military operation, which lasted for hours, led by a central command. Municipal police from at least four municipalities, federal and state police, military, and hit men participated simultaneously and in coordination. They cordoned off the entire city and set up 16 checkpoints for hours.
Therefore, with the background of who is designated as the A1, it is inevitable to ask: Who commanded such an operation? Jose Luis Abarca? A criminal group like United Warriors, with limited logistics, firepower and territorial implementation, was he entirely in charge of an attack of this magnitude? Why did the federal government of Enrique Peña Nieto decide to pay the cost of inventing the historical lie
instead of admitting the crime?
